Not only did Yu Ziqi's comic remarks not divert Song Jiaren's attention, it made her even more unsatisfied with Zheng Xiaowen.
It didn't matter if Zheng Xiaowen was Yu Ziqi's childhood sweetheart or deskmate, Song Jiaren wasn't planning to drop the matter anytime soon.
"Zheng Xiaowen, I'd really like to know, do you have any displeasure towards me?" she asked in a forthright manner.
"Wha- What are you talking about?"
Zheng Xiaowen was caught unaware, not expecting Song Jiaren to be so straightforward. "Wh- Why would I have any displeasure towards you?"
Her expression was rather stiff, and her gaze was drifting around. Clearly, she was being dishonest.
Xia Xibei did not say a word, quietly watching Song Jiaren hit the roof instead.
"You don't?" Song Jiaren snorted coldly, "If you don't harbor any ill thoughts about me, what did you mean by those words you said back at the shop?"
"I- I was just curious..."
"Curious?"
